Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 9 Physical work

"It seems that he was following the big boss!" Wang Dahua frowned and recalled, and then couldn't think of anything else. "Oh, I don't know if there are more. He asked someone to send a message, not a letter. I forgot about it."

She had heard about it, so she had no memory.

"You can't even understand the language." Qin Ershuan sighed helplessly.

"You're everywhere! It's all you can do. I'll let you listen next time!" Wang Dahua rolled her eyes at him and turned to look at her younger son with a smile. "You came here to give me this thing? You can keep it for you to eat."

Although her younger son seemed like a boring gourd, he was a nice person, and she felt sorry for him. How would he live in the future?

Qin Hao nodded and said, "It's okay. I have food at home. I found a job in the town. I can work for a few days."

"Is it reliable?" Wang Dahua said with a worried look on his face: "Don't work without payment then, otherwise it will be in vain."

It's a pity that there is a slack season now. Even if you don't go to work, you can still stay at home or go to the mountains to find some wild goods.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "I've been working for two days, and they gave me food but not money."

His parents' worries made him feel very happy, and he explained patiently.

Now that everything was said, Wang Dahua didn't ask any more questions.

After chatting for a few words, Qin Hao walked back.He greeted some elders when he met them on the road. After so many years, he had forgotten some of them.

As for friends, he was taciturn in his previous life and really didn't have many friends. Besides, after getting married, he left without even having a good relationship.

Back home, Qin Hao glanced at Li Meiling who was sewing and said, "What are you sewing?"

I couldn't tell anything wrong with the black fabric.

"Let me make you trousers. The fabric from my dowry is just enough to make you a pair of trousers to wear when going out." Li Meiling didn't even raise her head, but the smile on her face could be seen.

Qin Hao felt bad. His little wife cared about him, but he didn't cherish her.

"I'll make the materials yourself from now on, and I'll have clothes to wear."

Hearing this, Li Meiling didn't say anything and continued to sew clothes on her own. You said your thing and she did hers.

"Why didn't you drink this? If you don't drink it, it will expire." Qin Hao saw that the iced black tea he had brought back was not moved, so he opened it and handed it over.

Li Meiling didn't know if this thing could expire, so she took two sips and frowned, "What is this? It's not sour or sweet, and it smells like tea."

It was obvious that she didn't like this kind of thing at all.

"This is made of tea. Do you not like tea or sour food?" Qin Hao thought about bringing her something else next time, which is not expensive.

Li Meiling shook her head, "I don't like drinking tea. Don't buy these things. It's a waste of money. You might as well buy some food."

In her opinion, nothing that is delicious or useful can compare to food.So did the barrette on her head, but she really liked it.

Qin Hao felt helpless, sighed, drank iced black tea and lay down on the kang to sleep.

He has to get up early to work tomorrow, so let's relax today.

For dinner in the evening, they still had steamed dumplings and porridge, but they drank white rice porridge. It was indeed much more delicious than corn porridge, and they both drank a lot.

Now, both of them are weak and need to eat more to gain strength. He has to work, and Li Meiling needs to supplement her nutrition during pregnancy, so the family only has three meals a day.

At four o'clock the next morning, before dawn, Qin Hao got up. "Is it so early?" Li Meiling rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the sky outside. It was still early.

Qin Hao comforted him: "This is quite far from the town. Eat well and I won't be back until tonight. Don't wait for me, you know?"

"I got it." Li Meiling was a little sleepy. When she heard the door closing, she lay on the bed and thought wildly. After thinking about it, she fell asleep again.

When Qin Hao heard that there was no movement in the house, he immediately got out of the vegetable cellar and arrived at the modern age. At this time, the sky was white and there were just signs of light.

He didn't dare to delay and hurried on as soon as he came out.He promised to get it when he arrived at six o'clock, otherwise what if they don't need him?
Qin Hao walked all this way on his legs, because it was too early and there were no buses. Fortunately, it was getting light, otherwise he would not be able to find the way.

When we walked to the construction site, there happened to be a breakfast vendor at the door, and many workers were buying and eating there.

"Brother! This way." Yang Guoqing saw him coming and immediately waved.

He happened to go out for dinner and bought a few more buns for the two of them to eat together.

After walking for almost two hours, Qin Hao was sweating from exhaustion. He wiped the sweat and sat down to rest.

"Brother Yang, how much does your bun cost? I'll give it to you."

It’s not easy to go out to work, let alone come to the construction site to earn hard-earned money.

Hearing this, Yang Guoqing waved his hand, "Don't be such a heretic. Eat quickly. You can eat it by yourself at noon, and I won't care about your food. Eat quickly, I'll go to work later."

He could see that Qin Hao came here on foot. Not to mention where this person lived, it would take an hour to walk here from the town, which was not easy.

After dinner, Yang Guoqing took him to get a pair of gloves and a safety helmet, "You will follow me when I start working in a while and help move some recipes. You can move whatever they need."

That's not all manual work is about. There's no harm in being diligent anyway. It's up to him to do more or less.

Qin Hao nodded and followed him upstairs. It seemed dangerous without handrails, but everyone did it.

The work on the construction site is very simple, as long as it is not technical work, and the laborers only need to have a bit of vision and just work hard.

Qin Hao was very tired from moving things all morning, so he relied on his youth to hold on.

Even though he has lived in the countryside since he was a child, this construction site work is different from farm work, and the way of exerting effort is also different.

"Are you exhausted? Drink some ice water." Yang Guoqing brought up a question of iced mineral water, and everyone came over to rest.

"Brother Yang, you spent a lot of money to help me find a job and buy me water." Qin Hao was very grateful to the other party in his heart. No matter where he was, it would be much easier to have someone to help him.

Yang Guoqing laughed and said, "Brother, you are overthinking this. This is given by the boss. He is afraid that the workers will be injured by heatstroke, so they provide ice water every day when it is hot at noon."

If an accident occurs at the construction site, the boss will be held responsible. Now construction sites are covered by insurance, but it is definitely unlucky to have an accident.

In order to avoid these troubles, the boss doesn't care about the money.

"So that's it." Qin Hao felt that this boss was also a good person!
Of course he has never experienced so much, and his thoughts are simple. At the end of the 90s, the construction site boss did not provide meals and ice water, so he felt that modern bosses were very good.

After taking a break, everyone went downstairs to eat. Yang Guoqing pointed to the canteen and turned around to leave.

"Brother Yang, aren't you going to eat?" Qin Hao was puzzled. If he didn't eat during meal time, what would he do?
"I don't want to eat. I'll go out and eat two steamed buns." Yang Guoqing said, waving his hand and leaving.

Qin Hao frowned. Could it be that the food in the cafeteria is not delicious?If it's not delicious, it's free and he won't care.
